Ethel' wellness update!

eclairs mom · 12-03-2011, 12:07 PM

Well we went for our 2 week check-up with Dr C today, he was very happy with her pnuemonia progress. Her Xrays showed her upper lungs are clear and the middle/lower ones show progress. Her white cell count has gone from 47K to 34K to 22K today, not where they should be, but again progress. Her Fecal test was clear from the icky worms and she has put on 2.9 well needed pounds.

It will be a month or so till we get her to 100% and she has another 10 days on clavamox and baytril and a bronchiolator.

Both the doc and vet techs couldn't believe her change in personality, andhow glossy her coat is getting!

It just amazes me how well she's adjusted in a short time and the bond she's making with Eclair-so woth taking the chance on this little rescue!
